This happened this past weekend right here in Northeast Tennessee. What this guy was doing driving across the mountian, in a rainstorm, in this car, is up to speculation. http://www.wcyb.com/news/Rare-sports- ... 220/-/trthy4/-/index.html

If that was a real 66 GT 40 it would be worth a lot more than 150K. The ones Ford made back in 05 or so are worth more then that I think.......It's got to be one of the newer ones....

Looks like it still has the potential to make an awesome dune buggy. Sucks to be the owner. |
